Jumped His BON d.

When the case of j. G. Moore,
charged with assault to murder Philip
Traub, was called in Judge Cheny's
courtroom yesterday morning, the de-
fendant was found to have disap-
peared He was out on $500 bail and
had been told that if he would plead
guilty to charge of simple assault
the charge would be reduced. 1t ap-
pears, however, that he did not feel
like receiving a sentence, for he was
nowhere to be found. 1t was ascer-
tanned that he had been engaged as Il
day waiter at the Little Delmonico res
taurant on Spring street, where he
was last seen on Thursday morning at
10 O'Clock. Judge Cheny ordered the
bonds forfeited and issued bench
warrant for his apprehension.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-07-17

great deal Of talk, but Judge Bicknell
adhered to his former decision and
made it final that the ranch was sold
to Mr.. Smith. The parties who have
bought the ranch are w. d. Smith
and j. NJ. Studebaker of South Bend,
Indiana; DIR. Joseph Jarvis of River
side, A. L. Bryan of San Diego. Henry
Tinken of st. Louis, Messrs. George
H. Bonebrake, S. b. Hunt, f. A. Glib
son, DIR. Cochran, and Byram & Poin-
dexter of Los Angeles. 1t is the in
tention of these gentlemen to sub
divide the rauch and place it upon the
market at once.
The Davis party is still disgruntled
and have requested the trustees to
meet on Monday with view to hav--
ing the sale to Smith ct al. declared
void. If the trustees go back OF Judge
Bicknell's decision, serious complica-
tions will arise and the ranch may
again be offered for sale.

SAN JOAQUIN RANCH.
Sold at Auction for 81, 1,3SO,OOO.-
An Exciting Scene.

There has been more said and writ
ten about the princely San Joaquin
ranch than any body of land in South
ern California. 1t was the property
of the late James Irwin and when he
died he left it in the hands of good and
valid trustees. Time and again the
report has gone forth that the ranch
was sold. Everybody who had the
money wanted it, and the trustees
were willing to sell, but there was al
ways some hitch. and the property
kept right along increasing in value.
1t was finally decided by the trustees
to offer the land at auction, and the
18th of July was selected as the fate
full day. Circulars were sent out to Il
few men of lots of money, notifying
them that the ranch would be offered
for sale at auction at the office of Bick-
nell & White The thing was kept
tolerably quiet, but yesterday the
presence of number of monied men
on the streets indicated that some
thing was in the wind. The men OF
millions assembled at Messrs. White
d Bicknell's Office shortly after noon.
Mr.. Bicknell took the chair, and
stated that the auction would COM
mence at 3 O'Clock promptly, and at
exactly 3 80 the sale would close and
no further bids be received. Messrs.
Mastick, Irvine and Byrne, of the
trustees, were present, and the re-
mainder of the trustees were repre-
sented by proxy. There were not
MANY bidders on hand, but those who
were present looked solid financially,
and also looked determined. At 3
O'Clock watches were produced, but
for twenty minutes no bids were made.
At 3:2O O'Clock J. De Barth Shorb
bid 81, 300 900. w. d. Smith promptly
raised him 5000. Shorb saw this
and went Smith $1,000 better, and
Smith reciprocated. This made the
price offered 81 1925 900, with Smith
as the bidder. There was Il lull for a
time, and Mr.. Davis, who profiered u
check for $50, 900, signed by James Ii.
Fair, bid $1,000 better. This was
promptly met by Smith, who bid
81 1870 900. Shorb dropped out, and
the bidding continued between Davis
and Smith, jumping $4,000 at time,
with the exception that when Smith
bid 81 ,345 900 Davis pressed him u
little and bid SIC, 1000 more. Just be-
fore the time arrived for closing bids
the matter stood quiet, Davis with
$l,375 900 bid. All of the watches in
the room were out and were watched
with breathless interest. Each second
seemed an hour, and so silent was the
assemblage that the ticking of the
watches was very annoying. Slowly
the seconds passed, each one abnor-
mally long, and finally just as the
time was to expire, Smith said quick
ly "8O." Judge Bicknell's hand
struck the desk, he calculating ''sold !"
AS he said the important word Davis
cried .S5." Judge Bicknell decided
the ranch sold to W. ID. Smith and as
sociates for the sum of 81 1880, 900 and
